Thank you; that is very helpful. Operating on the principle, as I said informally earlier, that no question should be taboo, the EU has acknowledged that there are legitimate questions about security. Given that the Italians and Greeks will allocate people to different countries, it is for those countries to object if there are security reasons to object. What steps can be taken by Ireland in that situation? How real is our ability to establish whether some of the people who might be coming, or allocated to us, would be a security threat in the short or long term?
